An Explanation of America

[An] ambitious and immensely likable long poem . . . a poem which--a rare thing--seems to combine intimacy and authority. --David Kalstone, The New York Times Book Review Wise and compassionate. . . . It is one of the most readable long poems in recent memory, graspable by all. --Kenneth Funsten, The Los Angeles Times I cant imagine anyone who, after reading An Explanation of America, wouldn`t want to return to it again and again. --William H.
